SHOOTS FIVE MILES.
Great Things Predicted Of the Final Trip
Of the Atlanta.

NEW YORK, Jan. 81. - When the steel
cruiser Atlanta goes out on the third and
final trial trip, the last of next week, it will
assume for the first time the dignity Of d
fully equipped man-of-war. The guns will
be placed in position this week. Among
the guns which belong to the equipment
are two of twenty-four feet in length with
an eightinch bore 1t costs the Goverh-
ment $50 to fire one of these guns, owing
partly to the fact that very expensive
powder, which can be obtained only IN
Germany, is used. The projectiles for
these guns are also obtained from Ger
many. They weigh 300 pounds, go at the
rate Of 1900 feet per second and explode
on striking These two big guns shoot ac-
curately distance of five miles. The
guns are all made at the ordnance depart
ment of the Washington navy yard, and
were tested at the Annapolis proving
grounds. In order to satisfy the demands
of the Government the Atlanta must show
an average speed Of sixteen knots for six
consecutive hours and $500 horse pcwer.
On the last trip seventeen knots an hour
were made for the required time, but only
$500 horse power could be shown. Since
then several alterations in the machinery
have been made.

pletely at standstill, and, with the excep-
tion of small amount of freight being
moved by green hands ON one or two piers,
little work has been done on the docks of
the principal steamship companies since
the strike of the longshoremen commenced.
The strikers are confident that they will
succeed and gain their demands. Their
next move will be to get the pilots on the
ocean steamer service to come out. The
pilots are organized and should the order
go out for them to quit work. the strikers
hope to stop all transatlantic steamers
from sailing in or out of port. This, the
union men claim, will compel the steam
ship companies to come to terms. At the
National Line dock this morning sixty
men, who were picked up from various
sources, were laid off as they were incom-
petent. The "Wyoming" was being un-
loaded by non-union men and the sailors
OF the vessel. The latter are paid thirty
cents per hour in addition to their pay as
seamen. The green hands were imme-
diately taken in charge by members of the
'Longshoremen's Union and were organ
lied and became part of the strikers union.

The New Process Used at the Burial Of
David III. Thomas at Niagara Falls.
BUFFALO, N. Y, Jan. 30.-The funeral OF
David H. Thomas, late Superintendent Of
the Erie railroad, took place at Suspension
Bridge this afternoon. delegation OF
Buffalo people, including the board Of
health were present to witness the new
antiseptic process of "cementation" which
the remains were to be treated to. The
grave was sixteen inches larger each
way than usual. Eight inches Of cement
were then put in the open grave,
and the outer case was lowered so as to
set squarely upon the cement, leaving
small trench eight and half inches wide
about the case, the upper surface Of il be-
ing eight inches lower than the surface Of
the ground. The trench was then filed
with cement and the casket lowered into
the case. The cover was screwed on and
eight inches more of cement placed over it,
bringing the surface of the cement level
with the ground. The process produced q
favorable impression on the spectators.
The process by which it was at first pro-
posed to bury the body was to place fine
sulphur and powdered charcoal, with alco
hol between the casket and outer case.
Then setting fire to it, screw the lid on, the
object being to absorb all liquids in the
body and neutralize the gas arising from
the body. The gas generated by the burn
ing sulphur would prevent decomposition.
Among other advantages this form OF
burial secures is its protection from grave
rohhers

A MONSTER STRIKE.
Fifty Thousand Men Go Out at New Y,

Fifty Thousand Men Go Out at New York
New YORK, Jan. 1.-Twenty thousand
men are now on strike among the coal
shovelers, gshoremen, freight handlers
and men employed on the river front in
almost every capacity, and the number is
augmented to close on to fifty thousand
by the strikers on the Brooklyn and Jer-
sey shore. In consequence it is almost
impossible for any of the steamers for
Europe or coastwise to leave port. 1t
is thought that the pilots will be draw n
into the struggle. Their interests are
with the workmen's, and it is alleged that
out Of sympathy if for no other reason
they will refuse to take out the ships. One
of the ideas of the leaders is to level up,
and another is, and it is the principal one,
to attract the attention Of the business
community and force it to take some cog.
nizance of the strike.
